Synopsis

Bitter Flavor Science explores the fascinating relationship between humans and bitter tastes, revealing how our aversion to bitterness, initially a crucial survival mechanism, has evolved into appreciation across cultures. The book delves into why we can learn to enjoy bitter flavors, like those in tonic water or certain vegetables, despite our innate rejection.

 
It highlights the evolutionary advantage of detecting bitterness as a defense against poisonous plants, while also examining cultural practices that have reshaped our preferences. The book investigates the science of taste perception, explaining how specialized receptors identify bitter compounds and trigger signals to our brains.

 
It also covers the chemistry of bitter compounds, found in diverse foods, and how preparation methods can alter their intensity. Case studies spotlight how different cultures have embraced bitter flavors, such as the use of hops in brewing and bitter herbs in traditional medicine.

 
Drawing upon evolutionary biology, sensory science, and food chemistry, the book provides a complete view of bitter flavors. It starts with the science of taste and progresses through cultural adaptations and culinary applications. This interdisciplinary approach makes the book valuable for food enthusiasts and culinary professionals seeking to understand and incorporate bitterness into their culinary creations.

    “A great introduction to the kamado grill, with excellent recipes not just for grilling, smoking, and smoke-roasting but also for baking and braising.” —Chris Schlesinger, coauthor of The Thrill of the Grill   With its distinctive egg or oval shape, heat-insulating ceramics, and airtight seal, the kamado is a smoker’s dream, able to maintain low and slow temperatures for up to twelve hours with no additional charcoal needed. It’s the “set it and forget it” of smokers!   In addition to smoking, grillmaster Fred Thompson has discovered that the kamado is a wonderful all-round grill. Its ability to maintain precise temperatures means it can take on most any task—grilling, roasting, braising, steaming, even baking—guaranteeing a succulent result infused with delicious smoke flavor.   The Kamado Grill Cookbook contains 193 lip-smackin’-good recipes for everything from brisket and pork shoulder to seafood, poultry, lamb, vegetables, and more.  Explore the reaches of what the kamado can do: smoke your own bacon and sausage; fire it up for Bourbon-Glazed Bone-in Ribeye Steaks; feed friends and family with an Old-Fashioned Oyster Roast; or end a meal with a kamado-baked Pig-Picking Fudge Cake.  Fred will get you started on the right track with Kamado Basics, a primer chapter on everything you need to know to get the very best results from your kamado grill.   “Fred Thompson thinks like a flame and always knows what every ingredient wants . . . and why.” —Peter Kaminsky, coauthor of Mallmann on Fire

    The Vegetarian Life - A Way For...

    Vegetarianism has been a culinary philosophy for thousands of years, but not so much in the West, until it started to make a comeback in the early Twentieth century. It was taken on board by the Hippy Movement in the Sixties and Seventies, because any of them drew inspiration from the East and in particular Buddhism. The children of those hippies often continued the lifestyle imbued in them by their parents, and have now passed it on to their own children. Nowadays, very few towns, no matter how small, are without a vegetarian restaurant. 
    This is not a recipe book, although it does discuss vegetarian food and does give a few example recipes. It is really for those who want to know more about vegetarianism, perhaps in order to better understand the movement or their vegetarian friends and family members. 
    I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. 
    The information in this ebook on vegetarianism and related subjects is organized into 16 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first.

    Create delicious slow-cooked flavours with affordable ingredients using minimal energy with over 50 pressure cooker recipes.
    
    Pressure cookers enable the preparation of delicious meals cheaply, quickly and efficiently because the food is cooked in liquid at temperatures far higher than in a conventional saucepan, shortening cooking time by up to 70 per cent. After years in the culinary doldrums, the popularity of brands such as Instant Pot, has propelled all types of pressure-cooking gadgets back into favour and fashion. John Lewis says that purchases of pressure cookers have risen by 110 per cent, and their popularity is only set to continue with the current rises in energy prices and food costs.
    
    The pressure-cooking method is brilliant at sealing in flavour, so cheaper ingredients can be used to great effect and since the cooking time is shorter you save on energy too, making it one of the most eco-friendly cooking methods available. Time savings are impressive – braising beef takes just 30 minutes, a chicken casserole can be ready in 15 minutes. Pulses and grains cook in a fraction of the time, so it's great news for veggies too. A John Lewis spokesman said: 'The cooking method often used by our parents and grandparents to tenderise cheaper cuts of meat is once again popular as thrifty, time-poor cooks rediscover the time and fuel-saving benefits of these marvellous machines' (Daily Mail October 2022).
    
    Choose from over 50 recipes covering all tastes and occasions including Soups & Stocks, hearty Meat dishes, lighter Poultry & Seafood dishes, Vegetarian Dishes and Desserts.

    This book examines controversies in American wine culture and how those controversies intersect with and illuminate current academic and cultural debates about the environment and about interpretation. 
     
     
     
    With a specific focus on the United States of America, the methods that we use to discuss literature and other art are applied to wine-making and wine culture. The book explores the debates about how to evaluate wine and the problems inherent in numerical scoring as well as evaluative tasting notes, whether winemakers can be artists, the discourse in wine culture involving natural wine and biodynamic farming, as well as how people judge what makes a wine great. These interpretative commitments illuminate an underlying metaphysics and allegiance to a culture of reason or feeling. The discussions engage with a broad range of writers and thinkers, such as Roland Barthes, Susan Sontag, Louis Menand, Michael Pollan, Greg Garrard, John Guillory, Amitov Ghosh, Pierre Bourdieu, and Barbara Herrnstein-Smith. The book draws upon not only a number of texts produced by wine critics, wine writers, literary critics, and theorists but also extensive interviews with wine writers and multiple California winemakers. These interviews contribute to a unique reflection on wine and meaning.
